  1. Not ment as a dig mate just my opinion on working pipes over many years they are a great place to enter pups to FOX imo.
  2. Well i take many foxes a season from drains some pushed in some cold marked and IMO they are no big deal. Yes they may stand there ground a little but a determined dog can soon have them out.I may be a fool but i'm a happy one
  3. Doesn't take a good dog to bolt a fox from a pipe/drain. But they sure can pull you out of it on an otherwise blank day
  4. Great pack and some stunning hunt country.
  5. 20 mths is a bit young to say any dog is 100% but good luck with your sale.
  6. Musto country trousers had mine 3 seasons use them beating three days a week and out with the dogs they are the best trousers i've had.
  7. Wouldn't waste my time out with the cleveland not unless you like stag/buck hounds

    good book

    Thought this might interest some lads on here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160383028413&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
  9. These should make excellent guard/ companion dogs both parents are 100% at there job but are also very good round people when they have to be.
  10. Good post Butler, I would think the same could be said of bull blood as well. To some extent that is true but the thing with bull IMO is it takes more away from a "RUNNING" dog than it puts in (yards count in this game). It also takes alot of breeding out as it is very dominant and shows through 5,6,7 generations down the line. You don't need bull to put that do or die attitude in a dog selective breeding of the right lurcher lines will do that for you. To be honest a dog doesn't need to be game in the truest sense of the word to take deer large or small because most of the time the
  11. Cheers Butler, a sound litter they were too. Plenty to cover around here. One of my favorite parts of the country to work a hound. You have a very healthy rabbit population down there
  12. Nothing wrong with a dash of deerhound blood in this day and age but it's finding the right blood to use. It is out there but hard to find, i inquired about a litter of first crosses recently only to find out that the sire was just a pet owned by a bloke who just likes the breed.
  13. @ Butler.... But,.. perhaps a wee smidgen of Bull blood included in the mix would possibly enhance such fabulous critters without doing too much harm But,..I could well be wrong All the best,..CW.... They had a slight touch of bull in the mix but nothing worth mentioning less than a 60th in the modern generation
  14. I know the breeding of this litter and they should be good dogs. You are in the right part of the country to have some fun with it
  15. I shot them for you ya messer, then truffle pig retrieved them... I can remember when you were brave enough to walk out with us but like the dogs in the pics them days are long gone you messer
  16. All these dogs were saluki bred and they certainly put a few deer away. All dead and gone now but before we were restricted to just bunnies these were the only dogs i would ever want to own.They all killed their game with very little fuss even the odd rutting fallow buck
  17. You make some rather bold statements about a litter of "PUPS". If they are doing the job in a couple of seasons time then fair play. If you have been around dogs for as long as you say you have then you should know better than to big youngsters up as you can end up with egg on your face. As for them being better than anything you have seen how would they do in the day time tracking with a 100yds start??
  18. TUTT, TUTT, TUTT you'll be getting a defender next LMFAO Good catch by the way speak soon
  19. How old is the sire and what work has i done?? pm if you prefer
  20. A working mans price for a working dog
  21. UNFIT if you have to teach a dog to take a throat hold you are keeping the wrong line of dogs IMO. The law has taken away the sport i love and i wouldn't risk my liberty for the sake of a run at a bambi. But pre ban i knocked the odd one over and all my hounds would/had to "Kill" there beast in double quick time with very little fuss. A messed up carcass was of no value to me as they payed the bills.
  22. Just got back not as busy as the summer one but still a good turn out of decent dog lads and the craic was good. Met a dodgy scouser in a unit who was trying to swap heavy duty dog gear in return of sexual favors he was pretty busy all day
  23. I have one of them long tunnel traps like in your pic's. But i thought it was an old sparrow trap as thats what it's best at catching only ever had two rats in it.
